Abdulmumin Jibrin, a suspended member of the House of Representatives, on Thursday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Jibrin, who spoke to State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with Buhari, described his encounter with the president “as a meeting between a son and a father.”
He dismissed the assertion that he was in the villa to seek presidential intervention over his political crisis in the House of Representatives.
He said: “well, I cannot comment in that regard. The most important is that I saw him and he is a very high spirit. I greeted like a son and he spoke to me like a father.”
On the agitation for his recall by some concerned individuals, Jibrin, who has been on suspension for the past 16 months, said it was only normal for people to cry for justice in the society.
“Of course Nigerians like justice, my constituency has been suspended for 16 months.
“So, it is only normal that people will talk and ask questions, why are we not back on the aspect of court case that has been lingering in the court for the past 16 months.
“I think these are some of the reasons people are raising issues in the public glare,” he said.
Jibrin is an All Progressive Congress (APC) member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State.
